Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Five men occupied their usual places in a first-class carriage, but the sixth place was empty..." It is most unusual for the sixth man, Mr. Parador, to be late. The five commuters are wondering what happened to him, when a strange-looking man enters the compartment, dressed in black and wearing dark glasses. When he is told that the sixth seat is taken, he replies, in a deep sepulchral voice, "He won't be coming." He was right. Parador does not come, and his companions never see him alive again. And if Carolus Deena had not taken an interest in the case, the coroner's verdict of suicide would not have been questioned.

Book excerpt: Before the Industrial Revolution, everyone lived within short walking distance of their workplace. However, all of this has now changed and many people commute large distances to work, often taking around one hour in each direction. We are now used to being stuck in traffic, crammed onto a train, rushing for connecting trains and searching for parking spaces close to the station or our workplace. Commuters explores both the history and present practice of commuting; examining how it has shaped our cities and given rise to buses, underground trains and suburban railways. Drawing upon both primary sources and modern research, Commuters tells the story of a way of life followed by millions of British workers. With sections on topics such as fictional commuters and the psychology of commuting;this is a book for everybody who has ever had to face that gruelling struggle to get to the office in time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “An astute account of [Tokyo’s] commuter train network . . . and an intellectually stimulating invitation to rethink the interaction between humans and machines.” —Japan Forum With its infamously packed cars and disciplined commuters, Tokyo’s commuter train network is one of the most complex technical infrastructures on Earth. In An Anthropology of the Machine, Michael Fisch provides a nuanced perspective on how Tokyo’s commuter train network embodies the lived realities of technology in our modern world. Drawing on his fine-grained knowledge of transportation, work, and everyday life in Tokyo, Fisch shows how fitting into a system that operates on the extreme edge of sustainability can take a physical and emotional toll on a community while also creating a collective way of life—one with unique limitations and possibilities. An Anthropology of the Machine is a creative ethnographic study of the culture, history, and experience of commuting in Tokyo. At the same time, it is a theoretically ambitious attempt to think through our very relationship with technology and our possible ecological futures. Fisch provides an unblinking glimpse into what it might be like to inhabit a future in which more and more of our infrastructure—and the planet itself—will have to operate beyond capacity to accommodate our ever-growing population. “Not a ‘rage against the machine’ but an urge to find new ways of coexisting with technology.” —Contemporary Japan “An extraordinary study.” —Ethnos “A fascinating in-depth account of the innovations, inventions, sacrifices, and creativity required to ensure Tokyo’s millions of commuters keep rolling. It also provides much food for thought as our transportation systems become increasingly reliant on automated technology.” —Pacific Affairs

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The uncommon life of train commuters unveils itself in these twenty stories about Phil, Angie, Tony, Clyde, Paula, and others who hope they don’t sleep past their stop again. Filled with drama, comedy, and adventure, these stories show people connecting with their fellow commuters by what happens on the train. Will Phil and Angie find love? Can Tony find the emerald ring a ghost hid on the train? How can an overweight Clyde escape from a locked train bathroom after the lights go out and his stop is coming? Near the train tracks, there is Paula’s house where women escape into their art and from the memories of commuting. These are just some of the stories about people experiencing life on and off a commuter train. Riding a commuter train is a salvation when the highways shut down and agony when the rails shut down. It is a time to catch up on sleep, play video games, listen to music, socialize, knit, read a book, or write a book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bob Henley is a self-proclaimed complainer. By day, the married father of two is a Human Resources professional. At night, he is Commuter Bob, a popular blogger who is famous for shining a pessimistic light on the pains of commuting from New Jersey to New York City. None of his five million Facebook followers knows what Bob looks like and he is determined to keep it that way. As Bob shares an array of complaints about those who share his daily commute on the train, he humorously describes the erratic behavior of the arm swingers, the unwritten code of silence loyally adhered to by commuters, what it is like to be squished like a sardine in a can, and the agony of train delays. While Bob continues on his journey to stardom, a journalist who is tirelessly working to break his anonymity is never far behindor so he thinks. Now only time will tell if he can maintain the secrecy behind his posts. In this lighthearted tale, a mysterious man blogging about the annoyances of his daily commute to New York City must attempt to stay one step ahead of a journalist determined to reveal his identity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Death, deception, and a detective with quite a lot to hide stalk the pages of Anthony Horowitz’s brilliant murder mystery, the second in the bestselling series starring Private Investigator Daniel Hawthorne. “You shouldn’t be here. It’s too late . . . “ These, heard over the phone, were the last recorded words of successful celebrity-divorce lawyer Richard Pryce, found bludgeoned to death in his bachelor pad with a bottle of wine—a 1982 Chateau Lafite worth £3,000, to be precise. Odd, considering he didn’t drink. Why this bottle? And why those words? And why was a three-digit number painted on the wall by the killer? And, most importantly, which of the man’s many, many enemies did the deed? Baffled, the police are forced to bring in Private Investigator Daniel Hawthorne and his sidekick, the author Anthony, who’s really getting rather good at this murder investigation business. But as Hawthorne takes on the case with characteristic relish, it becomes clear that he, too, has secrets to hide. As our reluctant narrator becomes ever more embroiled in the case, he realizes that these secrets must be exposed—even at the risk of death . . .
